21 Go, inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israēl and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is poured out on us, because our fathers haven’t kept the word of Yahweh, to do after all that is written in this book.

21 πορεύθητε ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον περὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ καταλειφθέντος ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα περὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ εὑρεθέντος· ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς κυρίου ἐκκέκαυται ἐν ἡμῖν, διότι οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τῶν λόγων κυρίου τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.	21 πορεύθητε ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον περὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ καταλειφθέντος ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδᾳ περὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ εὑρεθέντος, ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ἐκκέκαυται ἐν ἡμῖν, διότι οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τῶν λόγων Κυρίου τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.

22 And Hilkiah, and they who the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spoke to her to that effect.

22 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Χελκίας καὶ οἷς εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ὀλδὰν τὴν προφῆτιν γυναῖκα Σελλὴμ υἱοῦ Θακουὰθ υἱοῦ Χέλλης φυλάσσουσαν τὰς στολάς – καὶ αὕτη κατῴκει ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν μασανα – καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῇ κατὰ ταῦτα.	22 καὶ ἐπορεύθης Χελκίας καὶ οἷς εἶπε ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ὄλδαν τὴν προφῆτιν γυναῖκα Σελλὴμ υἱοῦ Θεκωὲ υἱοῦ Ἀρὰς φυλάσσουσαν τὰς ἔντολάς – καὶ αὕτη κατῴκει ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν μασαναί – καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῇ κατὰ ταῦτα.

23 And she answered them, Thus says Yahweh Elohim of Israēl, Tell you the man who sent you to me,

23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ εἴπατε τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντι ὑμᾶς πρός με	23 καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· εἴπατε τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντι ὑμᾶς πρός με.
23 And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israēl said, Tell the man who sent you to me,	23 And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israēl said, Tell the man who sent you to me,

24 Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants of it, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.

24 οὕτως λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω κακὰ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, τοὺς πάντας λόγους τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῷ ἀνεγνωσμένῳ ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα,	24 οὕτω λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον κακά, τοὺς πάντας λόγους τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῷ ἀνεγνωσμένῳ ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα,
24 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evil on this place, even all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Jouda.	24 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evil on this place, even all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Jouda.

25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out on this place, and shall not be quenched.

25 ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐθυμίασαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, ἵνα παροργίσωσίν με ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξεκαύθη ὁ θυμός μου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται.	25 ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐθυμίασαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, ἵνα παροργίσωσί με ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξεκαύθη ὁ θυμός μου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται.
25 because they have forsaken me, and burned incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.	25 because they have forsaken me, and burned incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, so you shall say to him, Thus says Yahweh Elohim of Israēl concerning the words which you have heard;

26 καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἤκουσας	26 καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ· οὕτω λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἤκουσας,
26 And concerning the king of Jouda, who sent you to seek the Lord, –thus you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israēl, As for the words which you have heard,	26 And concerning the king of Jouda, who sent you to seek the Lord, –thus you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israēl, As for the words which you have heard,

27 Because your heart was tender, and you did humble yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and humbled yourself before me, and did tear your clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard you also, says Yahweh.
